Goodbye David Trezeguet

Dear David,

The moment has come to say good bye. I’ve given up counting the seasons we played together and the goals we scored. Surely we are the couple that scored the most goals in the whole Juve history, more than Charles and Sivori - two great champions - you know that well, and we are both proud of it.

How many line-ups during these years were always like that: Del Piero and Trezeguet, Trezeguet and Del Piero. How many victories, and disappointments (luckily much less than satisfactions we managed to get), how many hugs: there wasn’t another team mate I played with more than with you.

Seventeen goals a year in average, like your jersey number: that’s more than enough to prove what kind of bomber you are. But I, who played by your side, don’t need any numbers. I’m honoured to have played in a pair with, no doubt, one of the world greatest forward.

Now we go different ways, it happens in football. I’ll say good bye to you in our changing room, but I also wanted to do so in public: good luck for your new adventure. We’ll keep a lot of memories to share, for the next time we see each other.
Good bye, David.

Your team mate Alessandro

Both Alessandro Del Piero and David Trezeguet are Juventus strikers. They have been played together for ten years. I always like this duo, as they scored many goals for Juventus. Both of them are Juventus legend. I publish this post after seeing David leaved Juventus after 10 incredible years and start a new adventure with Hercules (Spain) the football club of his wife hometown. What Del Piero wrote in his letter above represents all Juventini's feeling about you, David. You will be remembered by us as one of Juventus greatest striker EVER. Goodbye and Goodluck!!

:'(

The headline "Tutto Nero" means "mourn". Yes, Italy is going home. They even can't make round 16. Yesterday was my gloomy day. I didn't want to read any article about them and i even said that i don't want to watch the rest of this world cup. What i did was 180 degree with four years ago, when they became the number one in the world.

My first reaction: i was upset then blamed them because they played soooo bad as the latest World Cup Champion. And because of that kind of performance, they deserved to not get through into the next round. There were so MANY reasons to blame their failure. Then i decided to read their article in Goal.com and i read huge fans all over the world commented about this. Like me, they are disappointed and wrote every reason to blame the Italian team.

I'm not gonna discuss the reason why they fail in this blog coz it's useless. What i want to share is at the first time i was like the fans who blame and hate their failure but what i felt next was i was so sad. It happened when i went home and saw the photo of the Italian player cried, displayed as a headline in the newspaper. That time, i was sad and regretted coz i blamed them. What the Italian players feel was more than what the fans feel. As a World Champion, it is a huge humiliation for their pride to exit like this.

My friend told me,"why are you so sad like that? it's only football!" or "it's even not your country!" LOL i couldn't explain that but i just feel like that. Somehow i'm so attached with this country. I support them since i was a child. That's why i decided not to be disappointed and blame them again. I believe they will be in the top of the world again (Amen!).

This morning, when i had a conversation with my older sister, she started to talk about this then i replied that i was sad when saw their picture in newspaper.

She said,"you are not only love their football but you really love the country itself"

LOL. That's all the answer of what i felt yesterday. Right now, i decided to keep watching the World Cup and i support England. Why? Coz their coach is Italian :D

You can do it, Fabio Capello!!

ESPN 2010 World Cup's Posters

FOUR DAYS MORE!! I found these cool world cup's posters campaign from ESPN. They made a poster for every nation who participate in WC 2010. Each image in the poster has full message of the nation's character. So cool, so unique and so smart!

Here is my champion, ITALIA! There are Cannavaro, Pirlo and Buffon who act like Gladiators. They are the main heroes when Italy won the latest World Cup in 2006 and this time, they have to defend it from other nations.
I like the Holland version poster. Yeah, their famous nickname is "The Flying Dutchman" that's wht the poster is designed like that. But beside that, in this world cup, Holland have great players and some of them have a position as a winger which is Holland's main strength. That's why the poster represents them like a man who can fly and they looks strong as a team (like the fact)
Hohoho..Lionel Messi, the best football player in the world right now. His nickname is "The Messiah". Like the nickname, Messi is the savior for Argentina. With his skills, all Argentinians hope Messi can bring the country reach the glory like they did in 1978 and 1986.

Watch the complete posters in here

Heart-Sport (Sport Jantung)

Yeah, that's what i felt this early morning when watched Barcelona vs Inter Milan. The game was so thrilling for both sides especially for Inter fan (I'm not an Inter Fan but i support them as Italian Football fan) Inter Milan had to play with 10 men because one of them was red-carded by the referee. That's why, the match was so thrilling coz Barcelona had never stop to attack Inter Milan until very last minutes. The last 1o minutes was the worse coz Barcelona finally scored and they only need one more goal to bury Inter Milan's dream. I pray to God so hard (over and over) so that Inter will go to the final..."Please...please God...give them (Inter players) strength and give the coach a wisdom to win this stage." Then the final whistle was there and Barcelona couldn't add one more goal. Inter Milan go to the final. An Italian club to the final of European Champion's League!!!! Yeyy!!! So excitedddd and happyyyy!!! Hehehee...Hope they can beat Bayen Munchen in final stage (Amen!)
the sweetest thing
After watched Inter's winning, i didn't sleep and i had plenty of time for my devotion. This week, i'm learning from Nehemia's life and i'm blessed. When i prayed, Holy Spirit spoke to me, "if God hear your prayer for Inter Milan's winning (small thing), how can He don't hear your prayers for the greater thing? He is listening your prayers everyday." Then, it was confirmed by the article i read. It's John Mason's quote,"When God is planning to do the sweetest thing, He starts it with impossibility." I smiled and relieved =) Right now, i face the impossibility but i know Jesus is with me and He will transform that impossible thing into the most sweetest things in my life, Amiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnn =)

And The Show has Begun!

Jawa Pos Friday Headline

My football season has begun! All football competitions around europe have started this week. The time when I wake up in the dawn has come. Lately, my ability to stay awake in the middle of the night has decreased significantly (i have to work it out, lol). Anyway, this morning the group draw of the greatest football competition around the world, Champions League, has been announced.
Samuel Eto'o vs Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the duel switch

Headline in Spain, England, Italy's big newspaper

This is the competition where Kaka, C Ronaldo, Zlatan, Messi, Buffon, Diego, Ronaldinho, Lampard, Gerrard, Drogba, Eto'o, Rooney, Ribery, ect will meet each other. What an exitement when i read the great group stage. Barcelona vs Inter, Real MAdrid vs Milan, Juventus vs Bayern Munchen!!! WoW!!! This is what a great show meant, guys!!! Just can't wait to watch them all...Forza Juve!!

Go Diego Go!!

remember this number

Kaka may leave...Ibrahimovic may leave...Italian League (Serie A) in a sudden looks like second class football league. But, I am a loyal Serie A fan (since a child) and i never lost my faith to Serie A. Whatever happen, i will always support Italian football especially Juventus. And you know what, maybe we've lost Kaka and Zlatan but now we have the replacement. He is Diego Ribas da Cunha, a genius playmaker.
"He is the star of the Juventus transfer market. Diego is an incarnation of all the characteristics of the classical playmaker: fantasy, dribbling, vision of play, passes and ballistic capabilities. After the period with Porto and Werder Bremen, the Brazilian is ready for a definite leap in quality." (Juventus.com). "I am very happy to have joined Juventus and playing alongside Del Piero will be great because he is a football genius. Why did I choose Juventus ? It is a great club, one of the most prestigious in the world and with a glorious history. I never had any doubts about joining Juve," said Diego.
He already proved his worth after scored a brilliant goal in his first debut yesterday. I watched the goal this morning and I'm so freakin' happy. So, whoever says Serie A is dead, Diego will shut your mouth!! Go Diego Go!! Forza Juve!! (Get to know Diego more and watch how genius he is)

THE GALACTICOS RELOADED

Real Madrid uueeedannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!

Sampe skarang aku masih belum bisa mencerna dengan benar pembelian Kaka dan C Ronaldo dalam satu musim sekaligus. Transfer dua pemain ini udah mencapai 162,5 juta euro atau hampir 2 Trilliun Rupiah!!!! Dan lagi, perburuan pemain hebat Real Madrid masih belum selesai. Hhhh...speechless aku...

Tapi walau speechless (ga isa ngomong) aku masih punya tangan yang masih bisa nulis. Jadi aku tulis aja post ini hahahaaa... Transfer pemain gila2an ini ngingetin aku sama permainan Football Manager (my lifetime PC game). Di game itu, kita emang bisa beli pemain2 hebat dengan uang yang banyak tapi aku ngga nyangka kalo situasi yang ada di game itu skarang udah terjadi sungguan di dunia nyata.

Back to Real Madrid. Presidennya bilang dia masih belum mau stop pembelian pemain bintang setelah Kaka n C Ronaldo. Masih ada pemain2 yang diincar seperti David Villa, David Silva, Maicon, dan yang jangan sampe jadi kenyataan, Franck Ribery!! Duh, kalo sampe Ribery dateng...aku langsung speechless sekaligus writeless (ada ngga ya kata ini?).

Madrid emang ingin balas dendam di musim depan. Aku masih inget ekspresi Iker Cassilas musim lalu waktu dibobol Liverpool 4 gol tanpa balas. Waktu itu cameraman-nya close up muka Cassilas yang hampir nangis. Dia malu setengah mati. Dan juga beberapa waktu kemudian Real juga dibantai musuh bebuyutannya Barcelona dengan skor 6-2 di kandangnya sendiri! Harga diri Real Madrid yang selama ini diakui (atau ngaku-ngaku) sebagai salah satu klub yang paling prestisius di muka bumi seakan-akan kayak dinjak-injak. Makanya wajar aja kalo skarang mereka gila-gilaan beli pemain untuk ngembalikan harga diri mereka di musim depan. (Image from: www.abenergy.f2s.com/andrew/blog/)
